[PATCH 1/5] arm64: cpufeature: Add helpers for extracting unsigned values

From: Suzuki K. Poulose
Date: Wed Nov 18 2015 - 12:09:24 EST


The cpuid_feature_extract_field() extracts the feature value
as a signed integer. This could be problematic for features
whose values are unsigned. e.g, ID_AA64DFR0_EL1:BRPs. Add
an unsigned variant for the unsigned fields.
